A Howard University professor has urged lefty “white allies” to be more like an infamous Civil War-era abolitionist who was hanged for murder.
Dr. Stacey Patton, a journalism professor, made the remarks in a recent Substack as she argued that white liberals should look to John Brown as an example instead of asking how to be a better ally.
Almost a year ago, Canada’s Food Price Report projected that food inflation in 2025 would range between three and five per cent. We now stand squarely at four. For consumers, it’s been a bruising year. After months of relative calm, grocery prices have surged again since spring, driven by tariffs, weather disruptions, and a weakening Canadian dollar.
"Former Prime Minister Trudeau was simply terrible for grocery shoppers — truly terrible — and we’re still paying the price for decisions made long before Mark Carney came along. At least so far, I haven’t seen Carney make a single foolish decision affecting food prices… yet." https://t.co/wKRuFo00ac

Comedy Central’s The Daily Show is so desperate to prove that New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is not a communist that it sent Desi Lydic to interview Communist Party USA co-chair Joe Sims to insist that Mamdani is not, in fact, one of them. Of course, Sims had to propagandize as well as he lamented his movement’s “bad reputation” and that communism is actually all about freedom to do what you wish, which might have been the funniest moment on the comedy shows all year.
This week, over 100 homeowners in Richmond, B.C., got a notice no one wants to receive: Mayor Malcolm Brodie warned that due to a recent court decision, the title to their homes may be worthless.
In August, the B.C. Supreme Court ruled in Cowichan Tribes v. Canada that the Cowichan hold Aboriginal title over parts of the Fraser River and Lulu Island in Richmond.
“I will be a President for all Americans,” President-elect Joe Biden said following his (cough-cough) totally above-board victory over Donald Trump in 2020. “The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not,” Biden promised. “I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.”
The illusion finally crumbled. Premier David Eby himself has now stated that he was wrong, admitting that the Liberal-NDP experiment of “safe supply” has resulted in “really unhappy consequences.”
A grotesque understatement for a policy that has cost thousands of lives.

The narrative of London having miraculously escaped the scourge of child rape grooming gangs may be on the verge of starting to unravel, with accusations of a “cover-up” being levied as investigations have uncovered potential examples of abuse operating in the British capital.
OTTAWA — A Bangladeshi man in U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement custody is permanently barred from returning to Canada, a Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson said.
Mahin Shahriar, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national who had lived in Canada since 2019, said he inadvertently crossed the Canada-U.S. border in May and has been in ICE custody ever since.
In an interview from an ICE detention facility in Buffalo, N.Y., Shahriar said he believes he was led across the border in a human trafficking attempt by “a friend” who offered him a place to stay while he was dealing with mental health issues.
Conservative activist Robby Starbuck filed a defamation lawsuit against Google alleging its artificial-intelligence tools falsely connected Starbuck to sexual-assault claims and to a white nationalist.
Starbuck said he became aware of the inaccuracies in 2023 while using Bard, an early Google AI tool. Bard said that Starbuck had ties to Richard Spencer, a once-prominent white nationalist, according to the lawsuit. At the time, Starbuck took to social-media platform X and tagged Google and its CEO in a post about the details:
“Imagine a future where Bard is used to decide whether you get a loan, if you’re approved for adoption,” he asked his hundreds of thousands of followers at the time. The lawsuit says newer Google AI tools produced other falsehoods about him earlier this year, including claims that Starbuck had been accused of sexual assault.
OTTAWA—Federal NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis is among a group of Jewish academics slamming one of Canada’s biggest pro-Israel Jewish groups as anti-Palestinian in a new report released Tuesday.
The report, authored by six members of the Jewish Faculty Network, is based on an examination of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs’ (CIJA) public statements and social media posts during the first six months of the war in Gaza. It argues the organization has promoted anti-Palestinian racism “through the idea that unrestricted violence against Palestinians is necessary for Jewish safety,” pushed for a crackdown on protesters critical of Israel, and excluded dissenting Jewish voices.
Luigi Mangione was roughed up by a group of transgender women during a wild night out in Thailand in the months before he allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a new report claims.
The 27-year-old accused assassin allegedly bragged to friends over WhatsApp about his raucous nightlife backpacking through Asia before he returned to the US in July 2024 and allegedly shot Thompson that December, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

Are we close to reaching a deal with the Americans and if so does it include auto? It’s tough to tell based on what the government is saying, but their actions are speaking louder than their words.
On Tuesday morning, Mark Carney’s point man on cross-border trade was downplaying a story in the Globe and Mail that said the government was close to a deal with Trump on steel, aluminum and energy — but not autos.
Prince Andrew is facing mounting pressure from ministers and senior politicians to leave his grace-and-favour mansion on the Windsor Estate after accusations that he is a “disgrace” who is “sponging off the state”.
The Times disclosed this week that Andrew has not paid rent on Royal Lodge, a 30-room property, for two decades.
The prince agreed to pay £1 million plus at least £7.5 million for refurbishment of the lodge, which entitled him and his family to live in the property rent-free until 2078. The agreement states that if the prince chooses to leave the property he will be compensated but cannot be evicted.
More … Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge lifeline collapses
Prince Andrew’s future at Royal Lodge is in doubt after the collapse of a business deal that was intended to provide a financial lifeline, the Telegraph can reveal.
The deal would have allowed the Prince to abide by the terms of his lease by paying for the hugely expensive upkeep of the vast Windsor estate.
Without it, he could face eviction from the 30-room Windsor property, on which he has not paid rent for two decades.
Six in 10 Torontonians say the city is headed in the wrong direction, with a similar majority placing the blame squarely at the feet of Mayor Olivia Chow, according to results of a new poll.
A survey conducted by Canada Pulse Insights on behalf of CityNews finds 64 per cent of Torontonians asked believe the city is on the wrong track, with 68 per cent saying the mayor and city council are out of touch with what residents want.
Affordability and the cost of living are the most important issues facing the city, according to 49 per cent of respondents. Home ownership (34 per cent), gridlock (29 per cent), crime (29 per cent) and homelessness (21 per cent) round out the top five concerns.
Hamas terrorists are ramping up their brutal crackdown across the Gaza Strip as they round up Palestinians, torture them, and execute them in broad daylight, harrowing new video shared by Israel shows.
Footage shared by the Israeli Foreign Ministry from inside the Strip shows suspected Hamas gunmen drag a man across the street as he yells before they start savagely kicking him.
In Gaza, speaking out against Hamas costs you your life.
